Summertime is hot, hot, hot! Thankfully, there is refuge! South Florida residents know you must find alternatives from the beach and pool.  Check out these family fun locales if you are looking to keep cool this summer in Palm Beach County.

iFly

iFly is an awesome place in South Florida where visitors can go indoor skydiving by jumping into a wind tunnel. It will cool you down quickly.  Best of all, there is no reason you also do not have to jump out of a perfectly good plane. 

Where: 11690 West State Road 84, Davie. 954-280-4359.

Rapids Water Park

Grab some Dippin' Dots, an inner tube and float down the lazy river for ultimate cool down at Rapids Water Park. Thrill seekers can cool off at any of the 42 water slides from Big Thunder with a 45-degree drop to the adrenaline-pumping Brain Drain with a 70-foot drop. 

Where: 6566 N. Military Trail, Riviera Beach. 561-848-6272. 

Sailfish Splash Waterpark

Sailfish Splash Waterpark in Stuart is a great way to spend the day with your kids or grandkids this summer. The publicly owned waterpark was first established in 2010 and has since become a beloved part of the Stuart community’s character. There are few things more fun for kids than a waterpark and, unlike many other parks, Sailfish Splash is inexpensive and very well maintained. You can relax comfortably as your kids have fun, ride the slides and swim in the expansive, Olympic swimming pool.

Where: 931 SE Ruhnke Street, Stuart, FL 34994
